VISION
"To be a living icon of Mary’s Widowhood in the heart of the secular world."
​
Our vision is to transform the "bitterness of the world" into the "sweetness of Divine Love" by forming a community of servants who are invisible to the world but indispensable to the suffering. We envision a world where no one stands at their cross alone, because a Servant of Mary is standing there with them.
MISSION
The Saints Alexis & Juliana Community is dedicated to:​
​
1. The Stabat Ministry
To "stand" with courage in the places of modern crucifixion, parishes, hospitals, and homes offering the silent, healing presence of Mary.
​
2. Eucharistic Reparation
Following St. Juliana, to be "consumed" by the Eucharist, offering our lives as a living sacrifice for the healing of the Church.
​
3. The Hidden Service
Following St. Alexis, to perform works of mercy with total anonymity, seeking only the gaze of the Sorrowful Mother.
​
4. Fraternal Unity
To live as "one heart and one soul," ensuring that our community is a "rope of grace" pulling each member closer to the Heart of Jesus.
CHARISM
1. Humility & The Spirit of Alexis
We embrace the "Theology of the Doorstep." Like Saint Alexis, who lived as a beggar, we practice radical detachment. We serve without titles, seeking the lowest place, and recognizing that our true "habit" is the interior widowhood of Mary a heart stripped of ego to be filled with God.
​
2. Eucharistic Heart & The Spirit of Juliana
We are a Eucharistic people. We recognize that the Bread of Life is the source of the strength needed to endure the Seven Sorrows. Like Saint Juliana, who desired the Host even in her final breath, our spirituality is centered on the Real Presence, which empowers us to become "bread broken for the world."
​
3. Merciful Participation & The Spirit of the Seven
We do not view service as a task, but as an encounter with the Wounds of Christ. Through the Via Matris (The Way of the Mother), we map our spiritual lives, ensuring that every sorrow we encounter in our neighbor is met with the same tenderness Mary showed when she held the broken body of her Son in the Pieta.
Our Community Code
The "Rope of Solidarity"
Silence
We guard our speech to better hear the "silent cry" of the suffering.
Presence
We commit to "standing" (Stabat) even when it is uncomfortable or painful.
​
Fraternity
We never allow a brother or sister to carry their cross in isolation.
Conversion
We seek a daily radical turning of the heart back to the Foot of the Cross.
